Overview

Step into the world of ancient legends and historical marvels with the Cesme Troy Tour, a full-day adventure designed for history enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. This tour takes you on a journey through time to one of Turkey's most iconic archaeological sites: the ancient city of Troy. Combining comfortable travel, insightful guided tours, and the charm of a vibrant city center, this excursion offers a perfect blend of education and exploration.

The day begins with a scenic drive from Cesme to Canakkale, a journey that takes approximately four hours in a modern, air-conditioned bus. Sit back and enjoy the changing landscapes as you travel through the heart of Turkey’s picturesque countryside. Upon arrival at Canakkale’s central bus station, you'll be transferred to the city center, where you’ll have the opportunity to experience the local culture firsthand.

Canakkale is a vibrant city known for its unique blend of modernity and tradition. During your free time, you can stroll through the bustling streets, savor local delicacies, or visit the renowned Aynali Bazaar. This historic market is a treasure trove of handmade crafts, spices, traditional clothing, and souvenirs, making it an ideal spot to soak in the authentic atmosphere and pick up a memento of your visit.

After exploring Canakkale, the highlight of the tour awaits: the ancient city of Troy. A comfortable bus will transport you to this legendary UNESCO World Heritage Site, where a professional guide will lead you through a captivating exploration of its ruins. Troy, known for its pivotal role in Greek mythology and the epic Trojan War, is a site of immense historical and cultural significance.

As you walk among the ancient ruins, your guide will share stories that bring the city’s history to life. Discover the remnants of defensive walls, temples, houses, a sanctuary, and an ancient theater, each telling a story of a bygone era. One of the most fascinating aspects of the tour is learning about the Trojan Horse, the cunning strategy used during the Trojan War, and its ties to Helen of Troy. The tales of love, betrayal, and war make this site a compelling destination for anyone intrigued by history and mythology.

After an unforgettable tour of Troy, you will return to Canakkale’s bus station to begin the journey back to Cesme. Enjoy the scenic drive as you reflect on the incredible stories and sights you’ve experienced. By the time you arrive back in Izmir in the evening, you’ll be filled with memories of an extraordinary day that has taken you deep into the heart of one of history’s most legendary tales.
